“I have been here many times, but I've only had the burgers, but my wife tried chicken and it was great also, but the burgers are amazing and I love their fries because there are always hot.

“Came here with a party of 9 for my mother in laws birthday. We were very excited to experience this restaurant because of the reviews. While we weren’t impressed by the food. I was surely impressed by our waitress Phoebe I believe her name was. She let us know she was new to the staff! We appreciate her enthusiasm, customer service and hospitality! She is what made our experience. While it was disappointing to see her pulled from waitress to toilet duty! The smell of bleach was overwhelming as we were sat right next to the bathroom. I’d only come back for her service! You need more of her at your establishment!“

“Tonight we celebrated my mother's 65th birthday. this wasn't my first time but it was her first as well as my aunts. Everything from the atmosphere, the service, the bartender or wine sommelier gave an excellent recommendation that my mother truly enjoyed! The FOOD was impeccable. My mom and aunt went on to say this was the best experience they've ever had and my sister and I knew it would hit it out of the ballpark for them! the owners, the chef, the service providers and the family are top tier excellence. I will always dine here for special occasions and when bringing friends and family to cape! Thank you for an incredible evening ❤️“

“So my family has always been a fan of Golden Corral. But over the past year or two, the one in Cape Girardeau had really gone down in quality of the food. Then we heard they had a new manager and we checked the recent reviews were very good so we decided to give them a try again. Everything was great!! All the food was fresh or being refreshed when we arrived and through out the time we were there. The steak was fantastic, lots of char and juicy goodness just the way I like it. The fried seafood offerings were crispy without being rubbery under the breading. The veggies and salad were fresh and the crab salad was great. New manager thank you so much for putting Golden Corral back on our list. We can’t wait to take our granddaughters in tonight because this was always their favorite place and we haven’t been in their in over a year because the food and services was so bad. And the service was great too. Our server made sure our drinks were refilled and the pile of plates removed. So thank you — thank you so much for improving your game Golden Corral.
Also I noticed that you have taken steps to refresh the look of the place with floral arrangements and such and it is very pleasing to see this attention taken. I’m sure the restuarant could do with a big refresh but in these costly times, I appreciate a good meal with delicious food more than a remodel. So many new places in Cape are heavily relying on their new facility and have terrible food. So Golden Corral— you are our new old favorite and we hope to visit you many times in the future!!“
